the way of the monstrous creature Doomsday and his unstoppable rampage of

As the inaugural film in the DC Universe Movies series, Superman Doomsday told an abridged
version of “The Death Of Superman,” DC Comics’ landmark 1992-93 comic phenomenon.
But with a runtime of 75 minutes, the film focused on a core, singular
storyline. The new, animated The Death of Superman, the first of
a two-part film experience that will conclude with Reign of the Supermen in early 2019, restores many of the moments
and characters that fans hold dear to their hearts.

The all-star cast is led by Jerry
O’Connell (Crossing Jordan, Stand By Me),
Rebecca Romijn (X-Men, The Librarians)
and Rainn Wilson (The Office) as the
voices of Superman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively. The potent trio is
joined by the DC Universe Movies’
returning voices of the Justice League: Jason O’Mara (The Man in High Castle, Terra Nova) as Batman, Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Rent, Daredevil) as Wonder
Woman, Shemar Moore (S.W.A.T., Criminal
Minds) as Cyborg, Nathan Fillion (Castle,
ABC’s upcoming The Rookie) as Green
Lantern/Hal Jordan, Matt Lanter (Timeless)
as Aquaman, and Christopher Gorham (Covert
Affairs, Ugly Betty) as The Flash.

“As Superman celebrates his 80th
anniversary, we felt the time was right to finally tell the unabridged version
of this iconic story,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice
President, Family & Animation Marketing. “This is a landmark tale in comics
history, and we wanted to bring the entire story – with all the characters and
details the fans have clamored for – to animated life.”
